COLUMBIA HARDWOOD FLOORING ORIGINALS

The Columbia Engineered Hardwood story starts in the forest. We begin by selecting only the finest grades of hardwoods. Then experienced craftsmen, using the most modern, state-of-the-art equipment, take this gift from nature and produce a floor of lasting beauty.

Each board is constructed with top and bottom layers of select hardwood, bonded under optimum heat and pressure. The grain of each ply is set at a 90-degree angle to the next. This cross-directional construction resists the natural inclination of wood to expand and contract with seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, preventing unsightly expansion openings.

Next, the tongues and grooves are precisely milled to produce a tight, exact fit. The result is a stronger bond between planks that stands up better to your family's daily activity.

Finally, nine layers of stain and finish are applied. These produce the rich, warm hues and powerful durability that make Columbia Engineered Hardwood Floors so unique.

From Attic to Basement, It's Easy to Install

Columbia Engineered Hardwood Floors can be installed anywhere in your home, below, on or above grade. And depending on the application, they can be glued, stapled or nailed over most subfloors.
